Brits want food served on circular plates, not wooden blocks/slates

Have to agree with this. Hate being served up food on those wooden blocks. The amount of times I have complained to my friends 'I just want a proper plate'.

I agree, justice for plates :fist:

Gotta say I quite like funky ways to be served food.

Especially antipasto on a washing line :smug:

Thankfully i do not eat at places that would entertain such gimmicks

Even Frankie & Benny's have started with this nonsense! We went last night... thankfully, my pizza came on a regular plate, as did my wife's burger. The kids, however... eldest got the "mini hotdog trio" with chips. The hotdogs came on a chopping board and the chips in a tiny metal bucket :fist:. Youngest got her usual chicken bites and chips and they came in what I can only describe as a small tin trough with a handle... though to be fair, she quite enjoyed that.

Love the Newyork potato dippers from there.

I do like when you go to a curry house and get it the metal thing they cooked it in.
Don't even mind the wooden slab things tbh.We have square plates at home.

I'm really not fussy aslong as it's clean.


Edit:The little metal bucket that holds the fries is never big enough.I get the bacon cheese fries as you seem to get more

Proof positive some people will complain about anything some people say.

I think it'd be more general chat myself :hee: people have certainly been clocked for posting similar issues like this before

Also brillo, something you may have missed http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=327860 :hee:

Well it's a news article and it's in the news section, makes a welcome change from the usual Trump/racist/Muslim threads tbh

Love Frankie & Benny's my favourite is the chicken club triple decker.

I don't really care if they serve the food on a block of wood as long as there isn't gravy sloshing off the edge.

British People Forced To Eat From Wooden Plates With Carvings Of Muhammad On Them Made Using Traces Of Animal Products. Literally everyone offended.

Why have you provided me with that link - it has nothing to do with me as I am not posting from a mobile?

"American Hot" pizza almost every time. Bloody delicious. Not too kind on the way out though http://rationalia.com/forum/images/s.../FIREdevil.gif

See that's the issue though; the wooden blocks are flat with no upturned sides, and my daughter is clumsy AF. Trio of hotdogs flying hither and tither.

That made me laugh. I have felt stuff was going to 'slosh' over the edge and is very off-putting.

...ok.. maybe reread it and try again....

Withano 23-08-2017 10:47 AM

I'm not sure if I care too much. I think wooden blocks are better for greasy food perhaps cos they soak up the grease.. put greasy food on a round plate, and the foods gonna get soggy after ten mins. I'm sure there's other half-arsed logic behind other gimmicky-looking plate-alternatives too
